摘要
The correlations between the mechanical properties and microstructures of annealed pure polymers after annealing have been investigated extensively. However, the effect of annealing on the microstructures and properties of polymer blends were rarely studied. In this work, the effect of annealing temperatures (Ta) on the blend of 尾-form isotactic polypropylene (尾-iPP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Both DSC and WAXD results showed that low content of 尾 nucleating agent induced both 尾1 and 尾2 melting peaks of 尾-iPP; the melting peak of 尾2-iPP disappeared at the Ta of 130 掳C; at even higher Ta (above 150 掳C), 尾-iPP disappeared because of the 尾 to 伪 transition. The flexural modulus and yield strength of 尾-iPP/PA6 blends increase at high Ta (above 130 掳C), but the impact strength does not improve distinctly at the whole range of Ta studied due to the poor interfacial interaction between iPP and PA6.
